Canterbury
In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral and ever since, the Cathedral has attracted thousands of pilgrims, as told in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
Our purpose
Screen South is the film and media agency for the South of England. We aim to be a resource that helps people get their ideas off the ground, whether they want to make a short film; drama, documentary or animation; create exciting community filmmaking workshops with people of all ages; learn how to write successful scripts; find employment pathways into the film and TV industry; get support for training; set up a film festival or shoot a major movie in the South East. We promote our talent regionally, nationally and internationally, preserve our film heritage archive and find ways of presenting exciting film to new audiences.
